DUBAI, June 10, 2017

The traffic diversions will remain in place until the completion of the required works, said a statement from the RTA.

Minor changes will be made in the lanes of Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road in both directions to make room for casting the piers of Dubai Metro’s elevated track in the median, while maintaining the same number of lanes, it added.

"RTA has set up a plan for the temporary traffic diversions of Route 2020, which will be undertaken over several phases during the project's construction period," remarked Adel Al Marzouqi, the director of the Right-of-Way at RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency.

The project teams and contractors will do their best to ensure a smooth traffic flow and minimise the impact on residents until completion of all project works, said Al Marzouqi.

"These parties are keen on constructing the infrastructure of Route 2020 according to the plan and timetable set to ensure smooth traffic flow on roads and internal roads of residential and business complexes affected by this strategic project," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
